EP. 132 The Isolation of Achievement: Understanding and Overcoming Loneliness for High-Achieving Black Women

Loneliness is a subjective, unwelcome feeling of lack or loss of companionship. It happens when we have a mismatch between the quantity and quality of social relationships we have and those we want. Black women suffer disproportionately from loneliness compared to non-minorities because we are bombarded with the pressure from others to value our strength over the need for self-care to preserve our social, economic, and/or professional status. If we are expected to be strong 24/7 as Black women, when do we have time to be vulnerable? And who can we be vulnerable around? When you consider this, it’s no wonder why Black women suffer disproportionately from loneliness. In this episode, I want to address this topic of the isolation of achievement so that we can begin to  understand and overcome loneliness as high-achieving black women.   And if you need additional support with finding ways to permanently reduce stress, get on the waitlist for the Deeply Rooted Group Coaching Program by visiting www.brigjohnson.com/group for more details.   MENTIONS — Masterclass: How To Reduce Stress In Your Work Relationships And With Yourself In 90 Days Or Less | June 25th, 2023 @ 2PM CT | Register here.    RESOURCES  — Join the Group Coaching Waitlist for Deeply Rooted - https://www.brigjohnson.com/group Join the Next Breakthrough Master Class here - https://brigjohnson.kartra.com/calendar/BreakthroughMasterclass Register for the Next Melanin Hour here - https://brigjohnson.kartra.com/calendar/BreakthroughMasterclass Register for the Next Newsletter here - https://brigjohnson.kartra.com/page/website  Book a Breakthrough Call here - https://brigjohnson.kartra.com/survey/Salescall Share Your Takeaways With Me - Write to [email protected]    LET’S GET SOCIAL — Website - http://brigjohnson.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnsonbrig/?hl=en  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/coachwithbrig
